🔥 Instructions:
1. Prep the Ribs:
Cut the ribs into smaller sections if necessary. Pat dry with paper towels, then season lightly with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Cook the Ribs:
Oven Method: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the ribs on a lined baking tray and bake for 40–45 minutes, turning halfway through.
Air Fryer Option: Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for about 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway.
Pan/Sauté Method: Heat olive oil in a skillet, then sear ribs on both sides until browned.
3. Make the Honey Garlic Sauce:
In a small saucepan, combine minced garlic, honey, soy sauce, vinegar, and ketchup. Bring to a simmer for about 3–4 minutes until fragrant.
If you want a thicker glaze, mix cornstarch with water and stir it in until the sauce slightly thickens.
4. Glaze the Ribs:
Brush the ribs generously with the honey garlic sauce, then return them to the oven (or skillet) for another 10 minutes to caramelize.
Repeat once or twice for that deep, glossy finish.
5. Serve and Enjoy:
Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped parsley and serve hot. They’re perfect with rice, roasted potatoes, or even a simple salad!

🍽️ Tips for Perfect Ribs:
Slow cook = tender ribs. If you have time, bake at 300°F (150°C) for 2 hours covered, then uncover and glaze to finish.
Marinate overnight for deeper flavor.
Balance the glaze: Adjust sweetness with honey and saltiness with soy to your taste.
